Este volumen recoge los seis cuentos de que se tiene noticia protagonizados por el misterioso principe Zaleski, una de las mas afortunadas creaciones de Shiel, que en algunas ocasiones trabajo en colaboracion con John Gawsworth. Zaleski es un personaje singular entre los detectives literarios: un aristocrata decadentista, de quien se insinua apenas la homosexualidad, que pasa buena parte de su existencia en una habitacion en la penumbra fumando hachis o opio; sin embargo, cuando se le plantea un enigma pone en marcha toda su erudicion y sus excepcionales dotes deductivas y, para sorpresa del lector, llega a conclusiones de una logica aplastante. La edicion se complementa y enriquece con un iluminador estudio introductorio de Brian Stableford y un breve ensayo de R.B. Russell acerca de la colaboracion entre Gawsworth y Shiel.
